Which vacuums work best for yall?

[Johnny]

I've been using a couple Kirby Sentras cuz they work great, don't break down, and my assistant likes them better than the Orek XL. They function fine, but are starting to grunge out with scratches, corrosion, dirty bags, etc. I could polish them up and wash the bags but would rather clean carpet. There is currently no Kirby on Craigslist that looks any better than mine. Thinking about buying another Sanitaire classic because Kirby and Sanitaire have, by far, the best performance on carpet due to their direct motors.

Which vacuums work best for you?

Shark
Only buy a Powered Lift Away

 

[Trip Moses]

Shark.

 

[Mikey P]

Oreck and Kirby.

Sharks are junk.
But work well, for a while.
Keeping the filters clean is a pain in the ass. I'd much rather just change a bag.

 

[Johnny]

Why do you like Shark? I've used my daughter's at her house. Seems to work well, but don't think it would hold up in the van.

Mike: Why don't you like Sanitaire anymore? Hasn't the belt issue been corrected on newer models?

 

[ImperialCC]

Protean and Sebo

I can see where a Shark wouldn’t hold up well in the average cleaners vans, but realistically no vacuum will hold up under those conditions. My son is almost as bad as most of you idiots in the way he abuses his tools and the Sharks hold up for him,

And they have a good warranty according to Damon.

Junk

Get a sanitare

 

[BIG WOOD]

When you start getting weak wrists like mikey…go get a light orek

 

[Dolly Llama]

you goobs are overthinking, pack following de jour mow-rons

damn near all vacs vac fine when clean and maintained ...meaning free flowing.
and if you actually use them in homes or empties with pets, they STINK and need to be disassembled and washed.
and if you have a cloth/fabric type outer bag, they're a damn bio hazard after awhile

you can lead a horse to water, but they're still stoopit

..L.T.A.

 

[Dolly Llama]

pee-azz

if you use a sanitare, Kirby or Oryx to vac a house, then have to use a $30K TM to vac corners/edges and door jambs, you're a real nincompoop

..L.T.A.

I Had a cheap BiSseL blow up on me in the middle of a job many years ago when someone on the board (Lar?) thought they were cool. How many of those ten should I carry as backups?

 

[BIG WOOD]

I would suggest getting a cleanmax, but the new ones are having switch issues

I've killed more Sharks than Bissells

we carried two.
One for chitholes or pets lovers
one for nice digs

..L.T.A.

 

[hogjowl]

Don’t pay any attention to Dolly.
He doesn’t even clean carpet.
I’m not even sure why he’s here.

 

[Nomad74]

Love my warranty

good for my self esteem
makes me feel smArt compared to CC'ers...

Belt issues.

I would consider getting a bagged version

I use a $99 Hoover for edges.

 

[Willy P]

Sebo.

 

[Nate The Great]

Windsor Sensor 12/Sebo Bags are $1.50-$2.00/bag Lays flat to get under beds and such..

ProTeam XP1500 Bags are $.50-$.70 per bag Not as good as the Windsor but doesn't have that adjusting wheel that's expensive to fix when it breaks..

I don't like the bagless as its just messy.. I'm not trying to crate dust clouds..

If it's a sh!t hole/pet issue, I use the TurboCat.. The turbine vacuum that you hook to the TM on idle..

When you CRB even after you vacuum, you dig out tons of crap.. Any vacuum without a built in wand is just trash..

 

[Numero Uno]

He ain't lying on them beater priced bissels.
Keep em clean an magnet the front your sitting solid.
The wool wall to wall upstairs were laid down in 51...
It lifts the pile so dam nice...
Any who just maintain what ya get regardless of brand.
Merry Xmas

 

[Willy P]

I still have this old baby. Tough machine.

 

[Able 2.0]

Wtf is a vacuum?!

 

[Jim Williams]

I'm a Shark user. And I quit wearing Skechers.

 

[Johnny]

I use a $99 Hoover for edges.

I had one of those for about four months before the plastic door on the end broke. Plastic tools don't last long in my van.

I was in Kohl’s the other night buying new shoes. My Wife yealls out to me at the top of her lungs, “Hey, these Sketchers are a good deal”.

I was so embarrassed.
